Your dad was awesome.
It’s great that dad wanted to spend time, but could also spend time doing stuff the kid likes or wants too.
As a lifelong avid gamer who's definitely more an inside cat than an outdoors lad, I always immensely appreciate pops, gf, or the crew whenever they lovingly push me out into nature biz. Yes, the fishing trips can be boring af in the moment. Yes, I've wondered if camping is worth the effort. For sure, I've been on hikes where I fantasize about that hot new game at home.
In the end I'm always reflecting on the time fondly.
It's good to be out of your comfort zone sometimes. And nearly everybody could use more fresh air these days.
